Exactly the opposite is true. When the (L)GPL is stamped onto code, every commercial programmer must reinvent
the wheel rather than using it.
In your vision of the software industry, we should act as ... dinosaurs ? Is this what do you want ? He, look! Dinosaurs had their time !
Many of these programmers work for small businesses that are trying to compete with behemoths such as Microsoft, and will not have the resources to survive if they must reimpelement.
Don't you think that reimplementing everyone's libraries in every program you launch slows Windows today ? You have two programs that needs to do approximately the same functions. ( I could say IDENTICAL) And these programs are using two times memory as they would need, they have used programmer's skill and others things.
Now consider that ALL Windows programs are in the same case (except for programs that use Microsoft's libraries).
